Arrows from Zion
Summarized
from the Weekly Summary of Prayer Requests Israeli Ministries
From Dugit, Avi Mizrachi: “Weeping may endure for
a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:5 | I would like to thank you for your constant
prayers and faithful support over these past two years. Today, all of Israel is rejoicing that our 20 living hostages are
finally home! For two long years, we have hoped, prayed, and believed for
this day, and the Israeli military has fought like lions to make it possible.
As
we look to the future, we continue to put our trust in the Lord. . . .At Dugit, we know another wave of work
begins now. We are committed to boldly sharing the Good News of the
Messiah with those who are hurting and searching for hope. Please continue
to pray for us as we go out into the
harvest field with renewed courage and faith. Today, we rejoice, and again,
we thank you for standing with us through it all. Your prayers and partnership
make a difference in Israel and in eternity. With deep gratitude, Avi Mizrachi

VIDEO message from Reuven Doron in this Streams
of Revival video,
on the day of the final release of the living hostages were released. “Restore
our captivity, O YHWH, like streams in the Negev….” Find why the comparison to the streams in the
desert – streams that only come maybe one day out of a whole year! Reuven
writes, “Thank you for upholding our people, our family, and our work in your
prayers. We are grateful for those who are able to financially share in our
labors during this season of war and of harvest. The needs are substantial, as
are the opportunities to serve the Lord, and this link
offers tax-credited giving options. Email us for more information.”
Ronit Bender writes “It is really amazing to feel joy in the
air and to see these lovely faces of the families, who went beyond anything you
can imagine, to bring their loved ones home. It was two years of heartbreaking
news and anxiety.
. . .Please keep praying for the families …. they need to know God still hears
their prayers and loves them.”
After the death of her husband in
2014, Ronit went to Australia for a memorial service for him there. When
she returned her landlords gave her 3 weeks to get out of their apartment.
Already reeling from the death of her beloved Tom, husband and ministry
partner, Ronit was “devastated.” She already knew the landlord was an ungodly,
hateful man who mocked their faith continually, to which she and Tom
continually responded with kindness. When
she turned over the keys she boldly told the landlord that “they were blessed all these years because
we lived above them, with me leaving, that season was over!” Soon many
intense life catastrophes hit the landlord and his family: throat cancer, a
fall breaking both knees of the wife leaving her in a wheelchair to this day,
an accident the son had with a Muslim youth that took out the youth’s eye –they
had to pay 400,000 shekels to the family to prevent revenge. Another son became
alcoholic and more. Recently Ronit saw the landlord in a shopping centre and he
approached her, asking if she would come to visit them. Ronit writes: I plan to go and I ask you to pray for their hearts to be
open for salvation and that the Lord would give them the sign of healing. Our
God can do exceedingly abundantly beyond all we can expect! (Eph 3:20)

Hope is rising in Israel — but the fight for TRUTH continues | Let’s keep pushing
TRUTH out—to our friends, our
families, and our networks—so prayer and awareness continue to rise. . . . We’re also making good
progress in our TRUTH Campaign. As of October 15, 2025, together we have raised $263,318
toward our goal of $1,250,000.
Part of these funds will help us complete
the Ministry Center in Downtown Jerusalem, and prepare for the launch of our
Tikkun Global Academy—a new online platform offering customized resources for
pastors, leaders, Kingdom-minded people, and students of the Word. This will be
a major weapon in the battle for TRUTH.
Leading Revive Israel, Youval and Valerie
Yanay remind us of Proverbs 13:12“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing
fulfilled is a tree of life.” . . . . Deep emotion swept over us as we watched the news and saw
families reunited with their loved ones. There is no doubt that a chapter of the war that has
loomed over us for so long has come to an end, and a new one is beginning
for our nation. Our hearts are also
heavy for the innocent civilians in Gaza who have suffered greatly during this
time.”

The Christian Arab team member at Fields
of Wheat, Ruby Bishai writes, “Things in the Middle
East change fast, like quicksand. One moment it’s quiet, the next, chaos erupts…. the remaining hostages were finally
released. The country felt it; the atmosphere shifted in an instant. Tears.
Hugs. Joy. It’s hard to describe the feeling, but you could almost
hear the nation exhale..... one story that really hit me personally, was
that of Bar Kuperstein.... A young
guy… with courage beyond his years.... I watched that video five times, and
I’ll be honest, I cried every single time. [Watch the video here]
Ruby’s genuine expression joy and
relief at the release of the hostages in Gaza, is from a big heart for not only
his own Arab people but also for the Jews he carries a big heart for. This is
the quality of Christlikeness that marks the very finest soil to plant support
in. He writes, “We’ll be sharing some
updates soon about what’s next for our ministry, new projects, new
partnerships, and ways you can walk alongside us. But for now, we ask you for one thing: Please pray with us: For
continued breakthroughs.” Donate to our Equipping ministry here

Cookie Schwaeber-Issan: Will
Israel Risk Angering Trump Over Annexation? | "Calling
it 'the disputed territories,' and referring to its residents as “settlers,”
keeps it within a preferred political context for those who are not supportive
of a Jewish state in the Middle East nor wish to see it expand its reach to
include more land."
Jackie Santoro of Ahavat Yeshua
congregation in Jerusalem also writes of the great joy on all Israel with the
release of the hostages: “The handprint of God was over everything.
The prophetic significance was unmistakable.”
(The hostages were released on the eve of a prophetic day). Jackie reports “Almost every freed hostage from first
release until now has talked about finding God in the tunnels. There have
been such amazing testimonies. One former hostage said he prayed, he felt
God and he saw God! He added that the one thing he misses from his time
in the tunnels, was his close communication with God. Another said that
in the midst of the total darkness of the tunnels, he saw a huge light. And
this light made his heart happy in the midst of his suffering! Hope has definitely returned and we believe that we are the verge of
something great. The gospel will go forth in Israel and in Gaza! God
will make His name known. He will redeem the suffering, the blood shed, the
tears of grief and the trauma of being a nation under attack by Satan himself….. I continue to be on the leadership team
of the congregation and it has been my joy to see the congregation grow and
prosper in the spirit. We are on the increase and on the verge of seeing many
come to the Kingdom! It feels as if we have broken
through some resistance and the anointing keeps increasing each week.
Please continue praying for our
leadership team… I am so grateful for all your prayers for me during
this time. It was so very intense personally on many levels but the sun has
broken through the clouds!... The best years are yet to come! donations for "Zion's Glory") donate online

The Carmel
Congregation, Dani & LuAnne Sayag leading, write about the hostages
release, “God did it and His timing, as always, was perfect! ....on
Simchat Torah, the joyous holiday celebrating the completion of the Torah
readings for the Hebrew calendar year. God arranged to have the last of the
living hostages returned on the eve of Simchat Torah this year. More than
amazing!! We can only shout, "Glory to God!" ....Now we feel like the “new year” is
truly beginning. Please pray as we
look toward the months ahead with renewed hope and commitment to all that God
has for us here on Mount Carmel. We are deeply grateful for your part in
fulfilling His mandate upon us…. Please pray for increased boldness and anointing on the members
of the congregation to share Yeshua with neighbors and co-workers, to be
carriers of hope and peace to our hurting people.

Carolyn Hyde of the Heart of G-d
Ministries write of the Prophetic
Artists Journey “of leading 80 prophetic artists from 18 nations as we
danced on injustice, worshipped our King and shared His love everywhere we
went, from Zion Square to the Kotel, kibbutzim near Gaza to restaurants,
Zedekiah's cave to the Lambing Fields and more. . . . His
timing was impeccable as the day before, our hostages were released from hamas
captivity! …. There was a moment in time in the Gerar riverbed when we
redeemed the dance and reopened Isaac's wells in sync with G-d's heart…. The Father put us in alignment in this
season with the hostages' return, the Fall Feasts and the ancient paths that
opened before us. We thought the PAJ would be impossible, but heard G-d say “Don’t limit Me”…. Thank you for creating a safe place for
us to operate in our prophetic callings.
And
lastly, Out of Zion a wonderful report from Josie Silver on husband David’s recovery from severe depression over the past
two years. “Just as our nation is stepping into a new season of
healing, restoration, and joy, so too is David. After a long and
dark valley, we are seeing light break through the darkness - light that is
bringing freedom, strength, and renewed hope. In
the past few months, there has been a wonderful turnaround. David has begun
to re-engage with ministry and life.
Josie writes, “While the medications
have brought a measure of psychological stability, we know it has truly been
the power of faith, the Word, and your intercession that broke the hold of
darkness which tried to take David’s life and calling. David still
experiences some hand tremors, dizziness, and shortness of breath - likely side
effects of the medication - but we are believing for complete healing and
wisdom for his doctors as we look toward reducing and eventually weaning him
off some of the medications.
Throughout this long season of affliction -
his “valley of the shadow of death” - David often spoke of a deep
identification with his people and his nation. As Israel has walked through
pain, darkness, and loss, so too did he. Before his hospitalization,
David would spend hours interceding for Israel, describing it as a parallel
journey - a time when God used his suffering to birth true intercession
through identification. And
now, as Israel begins to experience a measure of healing, restoration, and
renewed hope - with the war easing and hostages returning home - we see
David walking in that same redemptive pattern. After a year and a half of deep trial, we can finally say there is a
sense of victory. God has been faithful every step of the way. In time,
we believe David will return to contributing to Out of Zion and once again
fulfilling his calling to be a light to the nations. We ask you to continue
standing with us in prayer for the final stretch of healing - Refuah Shlemah -
completeness, wholeness and perfection of healing for David, and for our
people, and especially for the recently returned hostages.
Thank
you so much to all of you for your steadfast love, prayers, and support
throughout this difficult time. God
has heard every prayer - yours, ours, and those of our family.

DONNA:
After that wonderful report on David Silver by his loving wife, Josie, I feel
compelled to add a couple of things. The first being how David perceived
his state of being in a parallel journey of intercession through identification.
Over the past two decades I have also perceived the same kind of perception
of identification was on my life. For David it was the warfare of the hostage
– bound by terrors of the enemy in the dark tunnels were there was little
room for hope. For myself, I entered this ministry to awaken Christians to the
need to support the Israeli ministries – both prayer and financial. I looked
at the lack of financial resources of most of the Israeli ministries and knew
that the lack of financial support my ministry went with the territory. How
could it not? The identification with the lack made me even more motivated to
give my all to see it turned around for the body of Messiah in Israel. I
experienced the same need that they so desperate need to complete the mandate
of God upon them. |
